13.1.3 Packet Tracer - Identify MAC and IP Addresses - ILM

This document describes a Packet Tracer activity to gather information about MAC and IP addresses when PDUs travel between local and remote networks. In Part 1, the student observes that MAC and IP addresses do not change when PDUs travel between devices on the same local network. In Part 2, the student sees that MAC addresses change when PDUs pass through a router between a local and a remote network because the router connects these distinct networks. Finally, the document includes reflection questions.

Packet Tracer: Identification of MAC addresses and IP addresses

information of each PDU in a spreadsheet that uses a format like that of the table that is
The information for the first step is shown in the table below.
Example spreadsheet format

On device MAC of origin Destination MAC Source IPv4 Destination IPv4

172.16.31.3 000C:85CC:1DA7 172.16.31.3 172.16.31.2

e. You will notice that the information for the incoming PDU does not change.
Question:

In the PDU information window, click on the outbound PDU tab. How is it different?
the addressing and why? Register the addressing in your table.
Write your answers here.
f. Return to real-time mode.

Part 2: Gather PDU information for remote network communication


To communicate with remote networks, a default gateway device is necessary. The
default gateway device connects two or more networks. In this part, you will study the
process that occurs when one device communicates with another device that is on a remote network.
Pay close attention to the MAC addresses used.
Nota: Pase el mouse por elRouter. Verá información sobre el direccionamiento de las interfaces del router.
Consult these addresses while observing the flow of the PDU through the router.
a. Return to the system symbol for 172.16.31.3.
b. Enter the ping command 10.10.10.2. The first pings may timeout.
c. Switch to simulation mode and repeat the command ping 10.10.10.2. A PDU appears next to
172.16.31.3
d. Click on the PDU and observe the following information tab:
On the device: 172.16.31.3
Source MAC address: 0060.7036.2849
Destination MAC address: 00D0:BA8E:741A
Source IP address: 172.16.31.3
Destination IP address: 10.10.10.2
Question:

Which device has the destination MAC shown?


Write your answers here.
e. Click on Capture / Forward (the right arrow followed by a vertical bar) to move the PDU
to the next device. Gather the same information from step 1d. Repeat this process until the PDU
I arrived at the destination. I recorded the PDU information that I collected from the ping 172.16.31.5 to 10.10.10.2 in
a spreadsheet using a format like the sample table shown below.
Enter the details of the incoming and outgoing PDUs in the router.
